> Today people become personalities on twitter that end up with a similar cult following.
Do you have any evidence of this? Name one Twitter personality like this who isn't famous outside of Twitter, and who moved from Twitter to Mastodon, bringing their "cult followers".
> Also I mean I'm not here to spin conspiracy theories.
Your whole argument is a conspiracy theory. Occam's razor suggests that people moved from Twitter to Mastodon because of Musk. And indeed, that was the case for me personally. Yet you say no, it's... something else, Twitter "cult" leaders wanting to move their followers out of Twitter to avoid "challenges", and Musk was somehow just an excuse or something.
> Your Mastodon server could be dedicated to die hard star wars fans or it would be liberal tech folk on the west coast who want a smaller space in which to voice their thoughts without the other side of the argument.
This is a misunderstanding of Mastodon. It's distributed. A server is just a server. I personally switched servers because of technical difficulties on my old server. You can follow and communicate with anyone on the fediverse. You're not restricted in any way to activity on one server.
